Judge VIM. L. Clark, Of the County and
City Courts, at Winchester, who. until re-
Gently, has been for upwards Of twenty
years general receiver of the Circuit Court
for Frederick county, has made an assign
ment Of all his real and personal property,
to cover his fduciary obligations. His
receivership liabilities amount to about
$50. 900, which his assets will mora than
cover. His embarrassment was caused
not by any improper use Of the hduciary
funds. but by investments made during
the carly years Of his recelvership, which
though good at the time, became after
wards in large part worthless, owing to
decrease In the value Of lands.

We have just been requested to give the
name Of the writer Of communication
which appeared in this paper criticising
some of the proceedings Of the Shenan-
doah Valley Sunday School Assembly. In-
asmuoh as both sides had equal hearing
through these columns, each publishing
two articles, it IS not quite reasonable to
expect that We should reveal the name
unless there be complaint that the com
munications were personally offensive or
Iibellous. We try to observe strictly the
rules Of all we'll regulated newspaper Of
fees. Were wo to act otherwise, there
would always be curious people, having
no concern in matters discussed, to make
requests for names Of writers.
